- PRODUCT :Windows NT

- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- This article discusses the method of configuring a Lotus Notes client
- on a Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server computer using NWLink
- talking to a Lotus Notes server when the IPC mechanism is NetBIOS.
-
- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- Lotus Notes currently ships with two types of servers, a Windows
- server, which only uses NetBIOS, and an OS/2 server, which supports
- both NetBIOS and IPX/SPX.
-
- This article explanation is based on having Lotus Notes server loaded
- on a OS/2 2.1 computer using NetBIOS configuration to communicate with
- its clients.
-
- On computers with Windows 3.1 or MS-DOS, Lotus Notes clients need
- NETBIOS.EXE loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT to communicate to the Lotus Notes
- server.
-
- On computers with Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server, configure
- the Lotus Notes client using NWLink by doing the following:
-
- 1. In the Control Panel window, choose the Network icon, select Add
- Software, and then select the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport
- option.
-
- This also adds NWNBLink, which is Novell's NetBIOS implementation.
-
- 2. In the Control Panel window, choose the Network icon, select
- NetBIOS Interface, choose Configure, select the bindings that say
- "NWNBlink -> Streams" and change its Lana # to "0".
-
- 3. In the Control Panel window, choose the Network icon, select
- NWLink, choose Configure and select the appropriate Network Number and
- Frame Type.
-
- Restart the computer after making these changes.
-
- Lotus Notes Client
- ------------------
-
- On the Lotus Notes client, choose Network Port from the Options menu,
- and make sure the Network Port is "0."
-
- NOTE: The Lotus Notes client must be configured to use Network Port #0
- and NWNBLink -> Streams binding must be at Lana #0 on the Windows NT
- computer for this configuration to work.
-
- With these changes, the Lotus Notes client will be able to connect to
- the Lotus Notes server using NWLink transport.
